Message from our President

Whilst I will wait for Greg to confirm, the news is looking good for our return to Cilantro. I’ve appreciated everyone’s efforts in organising alternative venues however I’m sure you will all agree that it will be good to get back to what we consider home.
Additionally what this will provide is the ability for us to run hybrid face to face/zoom meetings, allowing us to hopefully broaden our scope for guest speakers.
Certainly something for us all to look forward to.
Regards,
Geoff Gledhill

Club Meeting March 24 2021 Kim Ellis Antarctica
Paul was our Chairperson on this very wet and dark Wednesday morning. At least we are not flooded like the long-suffering people in NSW. Thank goodness. Grant and John M presented us with the Invocation and the Loyal, Royal Toasts. Paul welcomed Suzette, Jo’s friend and colleague and our Guest Speaker Kim Ellis. Pres. Geoff greeted us all and mentioned his opening article in this week’s Bulletin Board dealing with the looking at the mixture of the club and the importance of needing a discussion and the talk of where the club is heading in the future.

The Four-Way Test in a post-truth era

Taken from rotary.org

By Illustrations by

I only recently learned of The Four-Way Test, one of Rotary’s central principles. It is of special interest in the current day, when truth — or, more precisely, truthfulness — seems to be losing its prestige in public life.

Open link in a New Tab
For browser users who are unfamiliar with this trick, it allows you to "force" a link you are clicking on to open in another tab of your browser.
Usually, links open in the same tab of your browser, meaning you can no longer see the page you came from. To see it again you would normally just hit the back button.
Opening in a new tab allows you to easily switch between the two, (or more) pages.

Just a reminder to members, the above information regarding birthdays and anniversaries comes directly from each members information contained in the Club Runner (Rotary) database. As I have said before, it is up to each member to check, add or change information in their own profile. As editor, I do not enter this information into this bulletin. It is passed directly from the database.
